Contract extensions for Green Bay Packers receivers Jordy Nelson, left, and Randall Cobb might be one use for some of the $14 million left on the team's salary cap. File/Press-Gazette Media

After signing seven players and tendering one restricted free agent this month, the Green Bay Packers have about $14 million in salary cap space remaining for any other free agents, their rookie class and contract extensions for the rest of the year.

The Packers are trying to sign at least a couple more of their free agents; likely will spend between $4 million and $6 million for their rookie class, though as little as one-third of that probably will count against the cap; and likely will try to extend the contracts of receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, perhaps among others, sometime this year.

Among their free agents they’re trying to re-sign, highest on the list probably are fullback John Kuhn and backup quarterback Matt Flynn.

Tight end Jermichael Finley probably would be a priority, but his future remains in question because of neck-fusion surgery last year. He visited the Seattle Seahawks last week, but neither he nor his agent has given any indication he has passed the Seahawks’ physical or any other team’s physical.
